This Sunday we look forward, to a bit of American Civil War.

The First Battle of Bull Run, 1861.

Earlier this morning... Confederate forces attempted a full frontal assault on Union forces dug in at Mathews hill.
Union forces defend with not much problem, and force the Confederate infantry back down the hill.
With Union troops full of vigor they form up to pressure the confederates that are now in full retreat to Henry Hill, where General. Jackson (nicknamed stone wall during this battle) had arrived out of the woods with his division, at the top of the hill. Union officers in all their wisdom believed that the confederate retreat would be so disorganized that they would never be able to reform another attack. It took the Union commanders 3 hours before they decide to press home their long lost advantage.
Union troops form and march on the new confederate position, only to discover that it is much stronger than they could of imagined.
Coming under a mass bombardment from well placed Rebel artillery. Jacksons Division was being strengthened with fresh waves of Infantry coming from the nearby train station (The first time in American history that reserves had been brought in by train).
